It’s Fat Tuesday And I’m Not Ready For Lent!

Nobody parties like they do on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, especially for Fat Tuesday!

It’s the day before Ash Wednesday and folks are trying to eat and drink everything before entering the long fasting days of Lent!

A lot of people give up something for Lent. Are you thinking about giving up a favorite drink or snack for the Christian tradition?

As a christened Catholic and a baptized Baptist, I usually try to honor Lent in some way. I have found that it is easier to give up something than, rather than to make a commitment to do actually do something everyday. I can give up meat or candy without too much of a problem, but, let me try to drink 8 glasses of water a day or even write a thought of gratitude down for 40 days and I am struggling with the task!

Am I the only one? Tell me how you stay on point for Lent, so that I can stay on point this year!
